Hamas strike on Israel

Ridiculous cluedo. Hamas haven't even agreed to it yet fcs. Absolutely just mouthing post.

I'd be hoping this morning that Hamas see sense, and indeed Israel and the US. This needs action now, what's to consider?

But Hamas are not 'making' Israel bomb Gaza to smithereens every evening, keep displacing the population and stop humanitarian aid going in to a starving population. You're speaking as if Israel are somehow powerless in all this and have 'no choice' but to keep committing multiple war crimes and probable genocide.

Have a lot at the international media at the moment - everyone is focussed on what is happening with Israel and Netanyahu, nobody is talking about Hamas…..ALL of the power lies with the Israeli state, certainly not with the much smaller Hamas.

They are one of the players, but the news at the moment is not about clashes between Hamas and the IDF. The international news cycle is being completely dominated by the Israel's war crimes against civilians and the forced starvation of the population. Saying that these war crimes are being caused by Hamas would be disingenous.

If you try to look at the situation objectively without taking sides- Hamas are unlikely to agree to a ceasefire that means once the hostages are all released Israel is free to continue the war. A fair proposal would be that Israel will agree to end the war and commit to a two state solution in return Hamas agrees to release all the hostages and go into exile. If this solution were to be on the table and Hamas rejected it then it would be on them. Likewise it was on Israel when Bibi broke the previous ceasefire because he needed the far right head bangers back in Government to pass a budget. Some pro Israeli posters here are in denial about that because nothing is ever Israel's fault in their world

Like all the bad actions taken by Israel are the fault of Hamas, I suppose. Israel deciding to steal more land after this conflict in the West Bank will be blamed on Hamas too.

Incorrect Pjohnson, both Israel and Hamas are accountable for their actions- which is why leaders on both sides have been indicted by the ICC. The problem is you can't brook any criticism of Israel. This is why you will no doubt continue to hide behind sarcastic comments, but that's the truth of it.

Actually I stand corrected; you did once condemn the IDF for killing sheep.

Of course it’s tragic, however people like you plastering it over social media doesn’t really change anything. Using the death of an infant to further your ideals is frankly disgusting.

Swapping accounts of atrocities and using them on social media to further ones ‘ideals’ should be on nobodies agenda, my friend.

Very bad decision taken here to to try go down that road.

Hopefully common sense will surface ……..

I have no problem with Israel publishing accounts of the October attack or the Gazans doing the same.
